A recent study
found that heavy consumption of diet soda can be just as harmful to teeth as
habitual use of crystal meth and crack cocaine. The study compared the teeth of three individuals: a meth
user, a cocaine user and a woman who drank 2 liters of diet soda every day for
three to five years. The results
showed all three individuals had severe tooth erosion due to the high acid
levels present in both drugs and diet soda. While not outright banning diet soda, the Academy of General
Dentistry encouraged people to drink diet soda in moderation and to brush or
rinse their teeth after consumption.
